action

For the 40th anniversary of the "Pension Resi", Resi Berghammer receives a voucher for a week's spa stay in Kitzbühel for two people. Her son Benno was forced to go with her when she threatened him, otherwise he would move out.

Mrs. Berghammer befriends the Hofrat a. D. Rudolf Matuschek, who takes her to the casino, where she also meets Count Moritz von Ambach. Thanks to her good luck as a beginner, she accumulates a considerable profit within a short time and sees the chance to renovate her pension if she stays on the ball.

In the meantime, Benno Berghammer made the acquaintance of the reigning Miss Austria, Marina Rollinger, with whom he danced the night away at the “Take Five” disco. The next morning the gendarmerie woke him up because his dance partner was found strangled. He is arrested, but is released again when it is clear that he is the chief inspector of the Bad Tölz criminal police.

Against the will of Chief Inspector Renate Patscheder, Berghammer starts her own investigation and learns from Leo Rollinger, the victim's husband, that the marriage was over after three months; Marina then modeled under her maiden name Kubes. He hadn't seen his wife for five years until she showed up the day before because she couldn't get a hotel room, so he offered her the couch. The marriage bed was out of the question because he wanted to marry his girlfriend Anita Ganslwandtner and therefore wanted to divorce Marina. He admits to Chief Inspector Patscheder that Marina refused to get a divorce because she feared that the press would twist her out of it, especially since, as a married woman, she would not have been allowed to participate in the Miss Austria election and hers Would have lost title and the associated privileges. Leo Rollinger thus had a motive for killing his wife, and he cannot provide a useful alibi; however, the suspicion cannot be substantiated with evidence.

When the address book of the dead appears in Resi Berghammer's pocket, the investigators also target her, but she can credibly assure that she has never seen the book before. In the casino, too, Ms. Berghammer's streak of luck has come to an end; it has lost a large part of its profit. But she does not give up yet and lets Hofrat Matuschek teach her how to play poker because she sees a gold mine in the Count of Ambach.

Renate Patscheder suggests that the perpetrator is playing with them, which gives Benno Berghammer the idea that the address book could have been put in his mother's pocket in the casino. In “Take Five” he learns from regulars Lissi and Claudia that Moritz von Ambach dropped them off in front of their accommodation on the night of the murder and then drove on alone. Berghammer drives from this accommodation to the Count's castle and discovers that the location of the corpse is on the route. He arranges a game of poker between his mother and the count at his castle. He confronts von Ambach with his findings, whereupon the latter takes a firearm and wants to force the Berghammers into a vaulted cellar. When asked why, the count says that Marina Rollinger laughed at him and called him an impotent loser. Something like that had to be taken out of circulation, he had a reputation to lose. Again he asks Resi and Benno Berghammer to follow him into the basement, when chief investigator Patscheder appears armed in the room and arrests von Ambach.
